Out with the shaker pint glass, in with stemmed glassware

Vinnie and Natalie Cilurzo, founders of Russian River Brewing Company, state, “The standard shaker pint glass…is actually one of the worst things you can use for a beer tasting." They encourage you to do a taste test of the same craft beer in a shaker pint and a stemmed glass, explaining that the later will deliver an enhanced aromatic and more flavorful experience.

  1. What if it was a stemmed shaker? Would it be good then? Not to spilt hairs, but not all stemmed glassware is good either. Really broad statement, poorly quoted and written.

  2. Funny how I have a shaker pint glass with a Russian River logo purchased at the Russian River store.

  3. I would recommend doing a taste test of each style of beer in the type of glass it should be served for in and then each one in a shaker. that will give you a better range to judge because there are some beers that don’t belong in stemmed glasses.
